According to the American Chinese website quoted by the American Chinese Network, the “Zero Death Vision” plan put forward by New York Mayor Bai Sihao has been implemented for nearly a year now. On the 14th, Bai Sihao held a press conference to review the achievements of the implementation of the year and said that 2014 was the safest year for pedestrians in New York.

At the press conference, Mayor Bai Sihao and City Transport Commissioner Trotenberg jointly announced that in the first year of the “Zero Death Vision” initiative, New York City has completed overhauls of over 50 crosswalks and crossroads. This includes broadening crosswalks, adding bicycle lanes, and rebuilding the central island of dangerous intersections. Bai Sihao said that since the traffic accident record began in New York in 1910, the past year was the safest year for New York pedestrians.

In the ageing Manhattan Huayin, pedestrian safety is a matter of life and death for the elderly. Chen Muzhen, director of the China Policy Center for the Elderly, said that since the implementation of the "Zero Death Vision" plan, the police have actually increased their enforcement of traffic laws and will often come to the elderly center to publicize the road safety knowledge to the elders. In spite of this, at the end of last year, in less than two months, Chinachem successively took three fatal accidents in which the victims were old. Is “zero death vision” really only a “vision” in China?

The Chairman of the Chongzheng Conference, Lü Jianqiang, said that the awareness of safety among Chinese community residents is low, coupled with the issue of language barriers, the implementation of the “zero death” vision is indeed difficult. Wu Ruixian, chairman of the Chinese Office, said that it is too early for Bai Sihao to rush to sum up the achievements of the “zero death” vision. In Chinatown, traffic problems are still emerging and traffic accidents occur frequently.

Under the complex traffic conditions of New York City, Mayor Bai Sihao's vision of "zero death" has really made New Yorkers feel the determination of the city to improve traffic safety. In 2015, Bai Sihao also plans to repair more than 50 traffic sections, not only The city government must have a vision. Drivers need to pay attention to their travel safety. Traffic “zero death” will not be just a vision.
